A Cooks Book, all 500 pages and nearly one and a half kilos of it, enters the world as if from the kitchen of someone fresh to the world of food writing, a-brim with ideas, vital and enthusiastic . . . He is king among food writers . . . There is not a cook or a reader in the land who wouldnt gratefully hug this new volume of his to their chest Nigella Lawson
A magnificent volume of comfort. After all these years, no one describes the simple sensuous pleasures of food better than Slater Bee Wilson
This is a book for life . . . This, and its high praise, is Slaters best book Diana Henry, Sunday Telegraph
Its so good. I think its his best one, and I say that because every single recipe is something youd make tonight, for supper, with no fuss or stress . . . Its super-homey and a friendly, comfortable book for people who dont view recipes as projects. Divinely written, as per India Knight, Sunday Times
I've got five Nigel Slaters and in all honesty I don't need a single new recipe in my life . . . But that's absolutely nothing to do with it. Cookery books are like new clothes you imagine a whole life to go with them Alexandra Schulman, Daily Mail
It is beautiful Grace Dent
This beautiful book has all youll ever need Graham Norton, Virgin Radio
Every time Nigel Slater announces a new book, I quickly make a spot next to all his other books that sit on my bookshelf. His latest book, A Cooks Book is like your favourite chocolate cake, sweetened with fond memories and layered with Nigels wisdom to make us all better cooks in the kitchen Nik Sharma
Its gorgeous Felicity Spector
Its beautifully designed, spilling over with tempting ideas Express Books of the Year
The beauty of his prose is matched to the warmth of his recipes Tom Parker-Bowles, Daily Mail
